The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape c. 180m NW of Lough Sallagh, and discovered during July 2018 in archaeological monitoring of forestry trenching (pers. comm. Richard Crumlish). A spread of burnt stone (dims 2.4m N-S; 1m E-W) was identified at a depth of 0.15m, and 0.8m to the N at 0.7m below the surface a smaller spread (dims 1.15m x 0.5m) of burnt stone was identified. Both spreads are probably more extensive and the area will be excluded from tree-planting.
